Representation Theory of Finite Groups

Representation Theory Of Finite Groups

In mathematics, representation theory is a technique for analyzing abstract groups in terms of groups of linear transformations. See the article on group representations for an introduction. This article discusses the representation theory of groups that have a finite number of elements.

Famous quotes containing the words theory, finite and/or groups:

    every subjective phenomenon is essentially connected with a single point of view, and it seems inevitable that an objective, physical theory will abandon that point of view.
    Thomas Nagel (b. 1938)

    The finite is annihilated in the presence of the infinite, and becomes a pure nothing. So our spirit before God, so our justice before divine justice.
    Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

    Only the groups which exclude us have magic.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
